Thank you for another wonderful year (and a sneak peek at what’s next)

Good morning, friends! I hope you're settled into whatever holiday plans your family has, even if that means getting settled on the couch. (Re: couch: the Hobbit movie rekindled our desire to visit Middle Earth, which led to a Lord of the Rings movie-watching marathon, extended edition, extras included. It was GLORIOUS.)

I want to thank you for making this another fantastic year for Parent Hacks. Can you believe we've been talking here for seven years? When I launched Parent Hacks in December 2005, I had a kindergartener and a toddler. Now my oldest is halfway finished with 7th grade. What a ride it has been…together.

There's a lot in the works here at Parent Hacks. Starting in January, we'll have all sorts of Minimalist Parentingnews to share. While there's plenty to tell about the book, Christine and I also want to help you apply Minimalist Parenting to your life, and we're putting together a fun, interactive way to do just that. If you're dreaming about a simpler, calmer 2013 but aren't sure where to begin, you'll love what we've got planned.

Till then, I say we relax and pat ourselves on the back for another year of parenting. It's not always easy to put your finger on the actual achievements, but really, it's a year of growth…for our kids and for us.

I hope you enjoy the quiet, and have a wonderful, restful holiday. I'll see you next year!
